CPU Temps High Or?

Steven Clowry · Mar 20, 2014

When my i7 4770k is on idle it sits around 35-45 C but when I use Prime95 with the maximum heat and 100% full load on each core it gets to 90+C, I'm using a H100i in push pull, when I use the Blend test it can still get to around 80-90C.... When I game it can sit between 50-70C?

you are within your cpu's threshold but seeing such rapid temps in games is a sign of instability.

case fans are very important and should be configured with moderate speed fans blowing in across your hard drives, gpu and motherboard with powerfull fans on the top and back.

prime95 is really bad for cores that share threads and in many ways can just be called dated. aida64 loads your system with a 100% real world scenario.
its stock 3.9ghz will carry you into the future with your high performance gpu or even two

After temps rise above 70C you stand the chance of melting your CPU and your idle to full load is a larger difference than most. I recommend cutting back the juices that you are flowing to your CPU through BIOS other wise get a better and bigger fan.

35-45C imo is not a bad temperature and same as 50-70 gaming.

Forgot to say it's clocked at 4.6ghz...

Take a picture of how you mounted your water block and the back of the mobo plz. I've had the same problem and I think I can fix it for you. Unless if that's not the case.

swegname :

I can't take a picture at the moment but can you tell me what you did with pics or anything? Thanks

swegname · Mar 21, 2014

I had 100 degrees around while running Intel burn test. I fixed the black plate and it stayed max 60 degrees.

swegname · Mar 21, 2014

Check the back plate and there is only one correct way to install it. I can't really explain without a picture though.

swegname · Mar 21, 2014

I'm sorry I'm not at home atm

Steven Clowry · Mar 21, 2014

swegname :

What was wrong with it exactly?

Steven Clowry · Mar 21, 2014

swegname :

I just went into the BIOS and the idle temps were 30 for the cpu and 25 for the mobo

swegname · Mar 21, 2014

My backplate was installed wrong. I rotated it to fix it. You'll see that the backplate has to spots near the middle that at going inwards. That's where you match it with the screws if you know what I mean. I'm sorry my explaining is bad.

swegname :

If you can send me some pics it would help a little better and thanks so much for the help!

Look at the square. You see the left side has 2 spots going in. Make sure that part is matching with the screws. If this doesnt help, then I don't know.

swegname :

When your PM me a pic if you can please?

matt798 · Mar 21, 2014

i say 60c is decent stability 50c optimal

not being within these values everyday will heavily reduce the life and becomes impossible to know if u could start a fire when a over clock is in place or less extreme damage hardware

AMD is able to reach 5ghz on air cooling when quality heat sinks and fans are in use

they do in fact recommend around 62c for alot of chips for safe temp

swegname · Mar 21, 2014

Are you able to take a picture yet?

swegname · Mar 21, 2014

Make sure yours look like this. The two screws matching. http://puu.sh/7Esm6.jpg

swegname :

You might of just saved me, they don't match up, what temps will I be looking at when I do it?

Just changed it around, temps are actually worse now, might be down to the thermal even though I replaced it, I will try spread it out tomorrow like last time, this time I used the pea sized method, last time I used a credit card to spread it...

swegname · Mar 22, 2014

Idk man... I went from 90 degrees down to 60. It helped me certainly.

Steven Clowry · Mar 22, 2014

swegname :

I just tried new thermal and everything and the scredit card spread way, temps didn't improve, I just launched Chrome and it went to 70 :/

matt798 · Mar 22, 2014

you need to take the overclock down before you kill it

put it at stock and gain stability while you investigate cooling

matt798 · Mar 22, 2014

a proper over clock is done 2mhz from the fsb and 100mhz from multiplier and not at the same time either

Steven Clowry · Mar 22, 2014

matt798 :

I put it back to stock and the temps practically stayed the same :/
